Ethiopia
has a proud and long history extending to the known beginnings of humankind.
The Axumite kingdom was one of the great civilizations of the ancient
world and has left behind the mystery of the great Stellae found at Axum.
In the late middle Ages great religious civilizations flourished in many
parts of the country, particularly at Lalibela where churches hewn out
of massive monolithic rock testify not only to great faith but also to
great architectural skills.

And in the former capital of Gondar many significant castles speak of
the same legacy. All these would be enough to make Ethiopia a fascinating
place to visit and travel through, but Ethiopia has so much more to offer.
